    Thank you again for all the positive feedback and encouragement, you honestly don't know how much it means to me!

    Even if this doesn't go any further, it's good to know that I managed to hit the target market with the designs, and it might give the club some ideas for future development.

    You've already done bloody well and deserve to go much further. You should be very proud

    A final bump for now, to let you know that I'll be meeting with the club early next month.

    At this stage the meeting appears to be an informal discussion about what the club has planned for the merchandising range (I get the impression they are already in the process of developing something of their own), but I will spend the next couple of weeks fine-tuning and adding to the collection, in case they want to grab some of my ideas.

    I will also bring with me the results of the original survey which I conducted on here months ago, because I'm not sure if the club has undertaken any market research and it could prove very useful for them.

    If anyone has anymore ideas for products they'd like to see, or further improvements (1858 aside :P), please post or PM me. The ideas and encouragement that I've received so far have been incredibly helpful and much appreciated!

    In the meantime, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me, because this is about as perfect a project as I could ever ask to be involved in...

    Brilliant Jaded! This must be a real fillip for you. Good on you.

    I have to clarify that at this stage it's purely a meet and greet and thank you for your effort meeting.

    It could possibly go nowhere, but if I can help the club with some ideas that is my main aim. We have to improve the merchandise and generate some decent money from it, or miss a huge opportunity.

    I'm just pumped someone is talking to me about it... that's more than you usually get in the fashion industry! :lol:

    The 1858/1859 tee is class, I'll be buying one of those.

    Champions '64 is also a pretty sure thing for me if they get printed.

    You'll have to have "JADED" printed on the tags somewhere though :D

    actually ...JADED could have a good brand ring to it.

    Good call.

    All the best with this Jaded.

    I really hope this becomes a success for you and the club. It's a subjective opinion but when it comes to the litmus test of "Would you buy it?" then my answer is an unequivocal YES

    That idea was brought up a while ago, and now that I have officially finished studying, I'll have the time to make it happen.

    I do have to look into copyrighting issues, but it should be fine.

    I'm also gonna add socks, board shorts and a couple more tee designs... and yes, 1859 will be changed to 1858!

    I'll attempt to post up the new designs at some point.

    This could very well be me wasting my time creating more and more products, when the club has no interest in picking up any of my designs, but I figured if I go into the meeting and blow their tiny minds away they may just be forced to give me a job :o;):lol:

    Either way I'll prepare a folder for them with the market research I've done, and large printed formats of the designs.

    I don't know what I was on last night but I apologize for any posts I have yet to remov.

    Except that one (in general) above.

    Bloody amazing work

    it really does support my opinion that the club is missing out on a huge market of casual supporter wear

    At this stage the meeting appears to be an informal discussion about what the club has planned for the merchandising range (I get the impression they are already in the process of developing something of their own)

    I'm pretty sure they know they're missing out and were looking at getting something happening in this space.

    I think I already mentioned this, but at the Youth Summit there was a rep from Globe there - in an unofficial capacity, not acting on behalf of Globe - who raised this and also ended up talking to a few supporters about it for a while after the Summit concluded.

    Anyway, props again for the effort. Even if it goes nowhere it's nice it is being recognised by the Club :)

    actually ...JADED could have a good brand ring to it.

    Some might say it's an appropriate brand for Melbourne supporters :P

    True, now if only someone in industry actually gave a crap about folios and non-paid experience ;):lol:

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
